response to review turned rant: http://www.ubersite.com/m/81457
gotta go against the warm fuzzy holiday feelings here- people say merry christmas to me all the time, despite being openly jewish. (openly jewish? wait, that sounds too much like openly gay, um, lets try "obiviously")...I'm obiviously jewish...but i dont care, i say it right back to them.
why piss in their cornflakes just because my past generations picked a different invisible man in the sky to pray to? (well, it's the same man in the sky, just no kid) but i digress.
"Happy Fucking Whatever" would sound better than "Happy Holidays"... in short, saying 'holidays' sounds pretentious--- at least being honest about not giving a shit is better than that.
Orgasmatron has it right:
Happy holidays I say to you
And holly happydays I should say too,
For days of holly, happy, are the holidays to keep
So have a Merry Christmas, motherfucker - please die in your sleep
So when someone says Merry Christmas to me, I say thanks, and appreciate the warm thoughts. Now excuse me while i go put exlax in the eggnog and only tell the other jews.

My boss is Jewish. The other two people in the office (the marketing person and I) are non-practising Christians. He gave us "Holiday" bonuses (even me despite that I had started there only 5 weeks earlier - what a guy), but he verbally wished us a "Merry Christmas".
We both responded with "Happy Chanukah" right back. No bloodshed, no annoyed looks. It really is the thought that counts.
